Elon Musk's AI tool, Grok, is being investigated by the UK's media regulator. Elon Musk's AI tool, Grok, is being investigated by the UK's media regulator. "Since discovering Grok AI, regular porn doesn't do it for me anymore, it just sounds absurd now," one enthusiast for the Elon Musk-owned AI chatbot wrote on Reddit. Another agreed: "If I want a really specific person, yes." If those who have been horrified by the distribution of sexualised imagery on Grok hoped that last week's belated safeguards could put the genie back in the bottle, there are many such posts on Reddit and elsewhere that tell a different story.

Today, artificial intelligence (AI) serves as the engine behind the curtain of personalization, offering new opportunities for better service and improved personal experiences--and health care is no exception. With emerging technologies now making their way into our most established industries, AI has enormous potential to revolutionize health care. The popularity of wearables is on the rise, allowing general practitioners to constantly monitor patients and collect vital data to fine-tune treatments. Not only can doctors benefit from data collected and processed by AI-powered algorithms, but the pharmaceutical industry is also looking to develop a more personalized approach to designing treatments and delivering therapies. The global market for AI-powered software is forecasted to reach $309.6 billion by 2026.

Pope Simulator will let you step in to the shoes of one of the most powerful people on Earth to see if you can bring about world peace. Polish publishers, Ultimate Games, haven't set a launch date for the game but have uploaded a preview of the software to Steam and say it is'coming soon'. A new trailer for the game opens with white smoke coming from a chimney, signifying the election of a Pope - likely a cutscene before the game begins with you as the new Pontiff. The stunning trailer gives some insight into how the user will step into papal life and live out the daily duties of the Pope - including prayer and blessings. This is just an illustrative trailer as Ultimate Games have only just started working on the new simulator game - saying it will be some time before it is released.

The future depends on connectivity. From artificial intelligence and self-driving cars to telemedicine and mixed reality to as yet undreamt technologies, all the things we hope will make our lives easier, safer, and healthier will require high-speed, always-on internet connections. To keep up with the explosion of new connected gadgets and vehicles, not to mention the deluge of streaming video, the mobile industry is working on something called 5G--so named because it's the fifth generation of wireless networking technology. The promise is that 5G will bring speeds of around 10 gigabits per second to your phone. US carriers promise that 5G will be available nationwide by 2020, but the first 5G networks won't be nearly so fast. Carriers have launched demos and pilot programs that demonstrate big leaps in wireless performance, but mobile networks based on the "millimeter-wave" technology that may deliver the fastest speeds probably won't be widely available for years.

In 2012, the return of the Porsche Factory Team to the top LMP1 class was officially announced. This is how the Porsche 919 Hybrid was born. In 2014 was the first season, when the 919 took part in the FIA World Endurance Championship racing series and Porsche managed to achieve the overall 3rd place in its first season. During the next 3 seasons 2015, 2016 and 2017 the Porsche 919 Hybrid dominated the racing series and managed to achieve the hattrick both in terms of victories in 24-hours of Le Mans as well as overall series victory. All summed up, the 6 Championship titles and 3 overall victories in Le Mans in 4 seasons made the Porsche 919 Hybrid a legend.

The history of Porsche Endurance Racing is one of the most exciting and successful and probably unparalleled by any. During the decades, legends like 917, 956, 911 GT1 collected victories on racetracks around the world. Among those, surely, the 24-hours of Le Mans is the absolute pinnacle. No other brand managed to collect as many overall victories as Porsche in this race. In 2012, the return of the Porsche Factory Team to the top LMP1 class was officially announced.

Over the last few days the #faceappchallenge has taken over social media. This "challenge" involves downloading a selfie-editing tool called FaceApp and using one of its filters to digitally age your face. You then post the photo of your wizened old self on the internet and everyone laughs uproariously. You get a small surge of dopamine from gathering a few online likes before existential ennui sets in once again. On Monday, as the #faceappchallenge went viral, Joshua Nozzi, a software developer, warned people to "BE CAREFUL WITH FACEAPP….it Some media outlets picked this claim up and privacy concerns about the app began to mount. Concern escalated further when people started to point out that FaceApp is Russian. "The app that you're willingly giving all your facial data to says the company's location is in Saint-Petersburg, Russia," tweeted the New York Times's Charlie Warzel. And we all know what those Russians are like, don't we? They want to harvest your data for nefarious ...

The challenge for the teacher is delivering a lesson that caters to the 30 different students. Some will engage better with visual stimulus, others will respond to group activities. Yet, given the nature of classroom teaching, in this scenario the educator has to decide what teaching method will work best for the greatest number of students. Most people who work in the education sector would see the above scenario as an inevitable reality of teaching in a classroom. Schools in the UK do not have an infinite amount of resources to draw upon – in fact, according to a survey by the National Education Union, 55% of teachers saw their class sizes increase between April 2017 and April 2018. Moreover, half of the education professionals surveyed reported teaching posts being cut. With the number of students in the classroom rising, the idea of teachers delivering tailored lessons that cater to the learning needs of each individual pupil seems far-fetched. Yet, in reality, we are much closer than people might think, thanks to some of the exciting innovations unfolding in the AI industry.

"We suffer from a bad case of trust-deficit disorder," said UN Secretary-General António Guterres in his recent General Assembly speech. His diagnosis is right, and his focus on new technological developments underscores their crucial role shaping the future global political order. Indeed, artificial intelligence (AI) is poised to deepen the trust-deficit across the world. The Secretary-General, echoing his recently released Strategy on New Technologies, repeatedly referenced rapidly developing fields of technology in his speech, rightly calling for greater cooperation between countries and among stakeholders, as well as for more diversity in the technology sector. His trust-deficit diagnosis reflects the urgent need to build a new social license and develop incentives to ensure that technological innovation, in particular AI, is deployed safely and aligned with the public interest.

Machine-learning has become one of the biggest buzzwords in cyber security, with almost every maker of a product in this sector touting it as part of their detection capability. A recent example of that turned up last week in a blog from Microsoft describing how in May Windows Defender spotted something suspicious in a small-scale email campaign purportedly from a landscaping business in Calgary. Microsoft's machine learning systems stopped the mail, which asked target victims to review an attached PDF document. It turned out the mail was coming from a spoofed address of the landscaping business. More than that, it was a spear phishing campaign to around 80 persons or firms.
